Application.addMainOption

Add an option to be handled by application.

Calling this function is the equivalent of calling gio.application.Application.addMainOptionEntries with a single #GOptionEntry that has its arg_data member set to null.

The parsed arguments will be packed into a #GVariantDict which is passed to #GApplication::handle-local-options. If gio.types.ApplicationFlags.HandlesCommandLine is set, then it will also be sent to the primary instance. See gio.application.Application.addMainOptionEntries for more details.

See #GOptionEntry for more documentation of the arguments.
